Pieces Of Me New for 2016!

Album Lyrics

LIFT ME UP

Hold me up when my fight’s concedingShut the door when I try leavingLighten me up when my bones feel heavyWhen I’m lost, please come get meWhen life starts spinning aroundand spinning aroundStarts draggin me down againI fall to the groundYou don’t make a soundyou just lift me upFocus me when my site is blurringSteady me when my heart starts swervingTalk me down when I feel headyBe my rock when I’m unsteadyI promise you I will not fail you, I will not let you down againAnd I promise I will do my best to get back on my feet again and then . . .

PIECES OF ME

You left pieces of me standing thereOur hands were freezing, nerves were bareI'll not forget the things you said, They burned a hole inside my headIs it too much to ask of youTo beg and plead you change your view of meI lashed out at you, I'm not proudThe voice inside my head so loud,I lost control and aimed at youI shot and fired before I knewIt was too much to ask of meTake a breath and see youBang bang there goes another roundIn poisoned words we both could drown this timeBang bang here we go again, no matter how long it has beenNo one will win this fight, tonightSo here I sit alone again, My looking glass paper and penI'm sorry for the things I did, I'd love to take them back insteadApologies are all we have and I'd prefer we not look back at allStep out the ring, take off our glovesWe both have scars from playing roughall bets are off, I'm tapping out The bell just rang you won this boutSo take my hand and walk with meI blinded, you blinded me tooNo Story books will tell the truthHappily ever after is a ruseLove's bit is sweet but can leave a bruise.But I still choose you.

Hit The Road

I’ve got a ticket on my car – but I can’t stop myself from writingI better get some sleep tonight cause tomorrow I’ll be drivingFrom Luxembourg to Germany, From Germany to BelgiumI only stop for Gasoline so I don’t lose my momentumOhhhhhhhhh – Gotta Goooooo and Get on the RoadSo I head out of my hotel room and now 201 is vacantToss all my bags into the trunk, no time to rearrange emFrom winding road to highway lines, my little engine purrinI go from car to stage to car to stage – with all the venues blurringOhhhhhhhhhh – – I’ve got to Goooooooo HIT The RoadSometimes traction slips until you take the wheelOnly driving shines the light on how you feelAnd if you’re lucky you might crash into the truthCause in the end, all roads, they lead on back to youI’ve got one show left before I go, I’ve got loads of heart to give itFlying high on life and just the fact that I do this for a livingThe sights, the sounds, and my new friends I met along the wayIt’s time to say goodbye to them so I can leave later todayOohhhhhhhhhhhh – Gotta Gooo – HIT on the roadGotta Get Out

Turn Back To You

I was a Mile a minute kind of kid,Not so proud of some things I did or didn’t doI learned to run from trouble, run from friendsI burned my bridges at both ends looking for youYou can see all parts of me – the good the best, the worst in me it’s trueAnd I knew it from the start that it felt different in my heart to be with youIt’s been a hard road Believing that I deserve loveAnd all the seeds I’ve sown are cemented in my make-upBut I know now that I’ll Turn back to youWhen things get rough on the road I’ve takenI always hit the gas instead of breaking downIt’s a lesson learned from the ones I loved thatWhen things go wrong, you just don’t stick around.So I think I’ve found what I came here forI have shattered these walls and I’ve busted doors to get to youI won’t run from trouble or run from friendsI’m here to stick it out to the bitter end to be with youBut I know that I deserve you.

ZOMBIE

Look to the left and seek to the rightLonging for Contact, but there's none in sight for meThey're walking like Zombies, programmed like dronesNo man's search for meaning, unless it's found on their phones for free.No one can hear me, no one can see meGave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back nowLet's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack nowIt's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang outUh oh, my internet has gone downThe virtual friendships we all seem to find,No time with our real friends, cause they're all on-line all the timePlugged in and checked out of what lies straight aheadTechnology wins and presence is deadNo one can hear me, no one can see meGave you a poke, I liked your pic, so pay it back nowLet's play a game, here's what I say, it's just like crack nowIt's been so long since I last saw you, we should hang outUh oh, my internet has gone down

EVERYWHERE BUT HERE

Take all the time you needI’ll wait right hereYour torn and trying to seeWhere your heart should beWhere your heart should beI’m sitting in this houseWe used to shareI’ve taken all your pictures downNow the walls are bareAll my walls are bareAnd you are there And you are there And you are thereNot hereI think you’ve chosen herThe signs are thereBut I see your face in thingsEverywhere, you’re everywhereYou’re everywhere, everywhere, you’re everywhereBut hereBridge: I saw the writing on the Wall

​I REFUSE TO

Please be aware that I don’t really care for your stale wasted air that concerns what I’m writingIt may seem unfair, or I’m blowing hot air or my brain is impaired or I have faulty wiringIt must be said, though I’m sure you meant the bestIt might be nice to hear a sweet little song – but - I’m not like the restIt must be confessed that I really detest your insistent request that I change my directionI’ve had it assessed and this wound is absessed and it’s time to address this unsightly infectionI’ll say it again though my time’s at an end, like a bow I will bend before shooting my arrowI’ll no longer mend, or consider you friend, that’s the price that you pay when your mind is so narrowAnd I can not, will not, choose to change a thing about me – I refuse to

NICE TO MEET YOU

It’s nice to meet you Show me a signAll it takes is a moment to make your eyes connect with mineI’d like to see you, so that you can see meWhat are we here for, let’s explore more the possibilityI swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for note So take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wroteIt’s nice to know you – I don’t feel so aloneI’m drawn to you like a splint to a break, I feel it in my bonesIt’s nice to love you – you’re so shiny and brightWe are connected and it feels so very rightI swear after all you’ve been through I could meet you note for noteSo take my hand, and sing with me this melody I wrote

NOVOCAINE

Generation- Saddened youthBloodied lip and broken toothFill them up with novacaineSo that they will feel whole again

They reach out with little handsSo alone in quickened sandAnd instead of helping hold them upWe hand out pills from Pfizer trucks

The youth cry out with questions askedFear of the future, shame of pastNot sure why they should stayWhen pills won't make it go awayThey search for answers make them Make them wrong, feelings suppressed so they look strongHide them make it go awaySo that they will appear ok

IN ANOTHER LIFE

Maybe in another life, I’d hop on my old cruiser bike andRide around the town to find some other kids around andI would play outside all day, until the sky turned dusky grey, andride back home again To mom and dad’s in Haarlem – Oh maybe in another life

I’d grow up in a happy home and my last name would be BohmI’d leave the house to roam, I’d travel far and wide and I’dLead a simple life, just what I needed to surviveand I would Settle down in a tiny town on the sandy coast of Dutch seasideOh Maybe in another life

We’d have a kid or maybe three, one giant happy familyWe’d be sipping cups of tea, under our own fig treeAnd I’d be turning grey, but life is kind of good that way causeAll we got is time and time is all we give awayOh maybe, in another life – Oh maybe in another life

BRIDGE:Some days I dream about packing all my bags to goLeave my tired life behind to head for the unknownThere is a part of me in every place I’ve beenI find the pieces, pick them up, bring them home and think again . . .
